About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights of The UPS Store were off and everyone had gone home, a regular noticed that the neon sign outside seemed to flicker in a peculiar pattern. Curious, he approached closer, only to see a tiny pug peering out from behind the counter, its little nose twitching as it sniffed the air. As the man drew nearer, the little dog wagged its tail and yipped once, then disappeared into the shadows. Startled, our curious observer called out softly, ‘Hey there, little fella!’ Suddenly, a voice from inside came echoing through the empty store: “Don’t mind him—he’s just helping himself to some snacks!”
2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A mysterious package kept appearing on the doorstep every morning, addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it once—just a piece of paper with ‘Thank you for your patience’ scribbled on it. From then on, whenever he found another anonymous package, he’d leave a note inside saying, “You’re welcome!” Soon enough, his neighbors started dropping off their own packages anonymously, turning The UPS Store into an unexpected community thank-you center.
3. On a particularly foggy morning, when the streets around The UPS Store were shrouded in mist, an early bird delivery driver swore he saw a package floating through the air. Curious, he slowed down and peered into the fog, thinking maybe it was just a prankster playing with a balloon. Suddenly, another delivery driver, passing by, shouted, ‘Hey, that’s not a balloon—it’s a package from Amazon!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing they’d been fooled by a mischievous wind. Since then, whenever it’s foggy, employees at The UPS Store keep their windows open for fresh air—and jokes.
4. At dusk, when the UPS Store was closing up for the day, a little dog started barking furiously outside. No one could figure out why—there was no one else around. Finally, an employee noticed that the dog was trying to get inside through the open door. Turned out he was just lonely and wanted some company after hours. The next day, they found him a new home with a kind neighbor who owned a pet store. From then on, everyone in the neighborhood knew not to leave their doors unlocked after dark.
